Steal This Look! – Give your Android a new look in 5 minutes or less (Star Wars Edition)

We’re huge fans of changing the home screen around a bit and creating a new user experience for our Android. In fact, we love it so much that we have an ongoing series of Get This Look posts. In a nutshell we show you a new layout, app, widget, or icon set for your Android handset and tell you which apps you’ll need to mimic the feel.

Some of these are a little easier to create than others and many of them can be tweaked to no end. The following details are but the ingredients to which you can create your own delicious Android dish; your results will vary. Which is awesome! If nothing else, this is a great way to discover new apps, widgets, icons, and more!

Theme

“Do, or do not. There is no try”. “May the Force be with you.” “Bring me the Wookie and Solo.” “Luke; I am your Father.”

In honor of today’s digital release of “Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens,” we are bringing you a special Star Wars edition of Steal This Look.

Why pay for some of these apps?

You might put in a few bucks to get things rolling but you’ll be glad you did in the long run. The sheer level of configuration and customization behind a few of these titles means endless designs. If you’ve been doing the custom home screen stuff for a while, you may have already purchased some of these apps already.

What you’ll need

• Nova Launcher
• Icons: Pulse Icon Pack
• Wallpaper: See gallery below

A couple of things to note about this design:

• Desktop grid is set to 5×4 with subgrid positioning enabled
• The Dock is set at 7 icons
• Normalize Icon Size has been disabled in Nova’s settings
• To get the Star Wars app drawer icon:
  • After applying the Pulse Icon Pack in Nova’s settings, long press the app drawer icon in your dock
  • Choose ‘Edit’
  • Choose Pulse Icon Pack in the list of available icon packs
  • Scroll down to the ‘S’ apps in the icon list and click the Star Wars icon
